<h2 class=Topic>Using distractors in multiple choice mode<b> </b></h2>

<p>Distractors are used in multiple choice mode. </p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Multiple choice questions are a form of assessment in which you are 
 asked to select one or more of the choices from a list. They consist of 
 a <span style="font-weight: bold;">stem</span> and a set of <span style="font-weight: bold;">options</span>. 
 </p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<ul style="list-style: disc;"
	type=disc>
	
	<li class=kadov-p><p>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">stem</span> 
 is the beginning part of the item that presents the item as a problem 
 to be solved, a question asked, or an incomplete statement to be completed, 
 as well as any other relevant information. </p></li>
	
	<li class=kadov-p><p>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">options</span> 
 are the possible answers that the examinee can choose from, with the correct 
 answer(s) called the key(s) and the incorrect answers called <span style="font-weight: bold;">distractors</span>. 
 </p></li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Defining wrong answers individually instead of using random distractors 
 from the pool of answers, enhances your learning experience.</p>
